Sailors aboard Indian naval warships performed yoga drills ahead of the 11th International Day of Yoga on 21 June 2025, observing this year's theme, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”.

Sessions were conducted simultaneously at sea, in harbours, and at naval bases across India and abroad.

Recognising the power of yoga in promoting physical and mental well-being, daily yoga sessions were being conducted from June 11 as a run-up to International Day of Yoga.

As part of the celebrations, Common Yoga Protocol sessions are being conducted at various locations – onboard ships in harbour and at sea, beaches, parade grounds, aircraft hangars, parks, etc.

Naval personnel, along with families, defence civilians and foreign trainees, have been encouraged to proactively participate in International Day of Yoga activities.

The naval community is participating in ‘Yoga Maha Kumbh’ activities and utilising the Namaste Yoga app and virtual yoga sessions by the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga.

Yoga-related quizzes, poster making, drawing competitions and lectures by yoga experts for adopting yoga as a way of life are being organised to inculcate yoga as a life-changing enabler.
